Those who don't like that should design their own piece set.

That's a lot more work than changing a setting. So, no.

Not sabotage the use of the original piece designs to alter those to their taste.

Sabotage is a loaded and totally inappropriate word to use here. It's like a font designer saying that displaying his font in boldface is sabotage.

converting transparent pieces at the boundary to darker ones to create the illusion of fatter borders

That is not an accurate description of what I'm doing. I am simply adjusting the background color of the image before reducing it in size, and different background colors have different effects on how the edges get anti-aliased. Darker background colors generally produce a clearer separation between the border and the background of the space, which is the effect I'm going for.
